A unique fossil assemblage from the Devonian of the Northwest Territories: The continued search for evolutionary missing links in the rise of fish
Principal Investigator: Miyashita, Tetsuto
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5973. Through this field project, there are two main goals: 1) to fill in a major gap in, and transform knowledge of early vertebrate evolution through the analysis of new fossils from the Anderson River locality, which represent a poorly known interval of the geological time. For goal (1), the existing collections from th...

PALEO-THAW: Unlocking records of past permafrost thaw through isotopes of fossil bones
Principal Investigator: Murton, Julian B
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5255. The main objective of the project is to establish the causes of the major changes in sulphur isotopes recorded in fossil bones of mammals at the end of the ice age. To achieve this, the research team will test the working hypothesis that major changes in fossil bone collagen sulphur are linked to changing biogeochemic...

Exploration for fossil vertebrates and wood on Banks Island, Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Eberle, Jaelyn J
Licensed Year(s): 2010 2004 2003
Summary: The research objective is to explore early Eocene deposits on northern Banks Island, in search of fossil vertebrates and wood. The goals are to: (1) refine the age and ancient environments of fossil-bearing rocks comprising the Eureka Sound Group on Banks Island, allowing correlation to fossil-bearing rocks in the eastern Arctic; and (2) provide insight into paleoclimate by studying the fossil pla...

Mio-Pliocene Plant DNA Barcoding
Principal Investigator: Spencer, Lee A
Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: This licence has being issued for the scientific research application No.1072. The researchers will collect plant fossils from the Miocene Ballast Brook and Pliocene Beaufort Formations (Ballast Brook River), Banks Island. They will transport the specimens to Southern Adventist University, Collegedale, Tennessee, USA, for DNA processing and analysis. A final report will be submitted to Aurora...

Jurassic and Cretaceous ichthyosaurs diversity in Northern Canada
Principal Investigator: Maxwell, Erin E
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008
Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application no. 1011. The goals of this research are to 1) collect and identify invertebrate fossils to correctly date the rocks the historic marine reptile fossils were collected from; and 2) to collect and identify any new vertebrate fossils found, in order to improve our knowledge of the diversity and evolution of Mesozoic marine repti...

Lower Devonian Fossil Fishes from the Anderson River, NWT
Principal Investigator: Cumbaa, Stephen L
Licensed Year(s): 2010 2008 1997 1995
Summary: This research will examine 400 million years old rock with the hope to find fossilized skeletons of long-extinct fishes, and sample them for study to learn more about the early history and evolution of fish. Using rock hammers and chisels, sections of rock will be split to discover fossilized bones of fish. Samples will be taken for study and further preparation in the laboratory at the Canadian...

Past climates of ancient forests on Banks Island
Principal Investigator: Williams, Christopher J
Licensed Year(s): 2005 2003
Summary: The objective of this project is to make detailed measurements of fossil plants that grew at high latitudes between 12 and 2 million years ago. The researchers will use these and previously obtained data to test the hypothesis that until about 28 million years ago arctic wetland forests were high biomass forests dominated by deciduous conifers, but by 12 million years aga, these were replaced by ...

Principal Investigator: Pisaric, Michael FJ
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007 2006 2005
Summary: There are three main parts in the researchers' project: 1) investigating changes in vegetation cover in the Inuvik region during the past 10,000 years using fossil pollen and stomata preserved in lake sediment; 2) investigating the importance of disturb...

At the Limit: Woolly Mammoth and Other Pleistocene Megafauna of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago
Principal Investigator: MacPhee, Ross E.E.
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: The purpose of this project is to recover remains of ice-age mammals from Banks and Melville Islands, in order to determine when and for how long animals such as woolly mammoths managed to live in this part of the Arctic. There is suggestive but meager e...
